Patient Tears
Left Alone
I've wept on
On the Floor
I'm stepped on
By Each Person that thinks they are helping.
I know how to hold my composure, Scared to say, "Please, Lord Help Me"
I've been hurt. Probably not as bad as you, or you probably not as bad as me-
Not everyone believes,
But not everyone can see
The tears that Ive dropped, or reasons that I Grieve.
Why try to see what shouldn't be seen?
The same reason we touch what shouldn't be touched.
We hear what we wish we never heard.
I wish I had wings to fly past every bird.
I would allow the clouds to see my tears.
So I'll hold each drop until that dream can be fulfilled
I guess I'm all alone, It's me, and my patient tears.
